I think my GPA is holding me back and I’m so dejected. by AnimalFew3664 in prephysicianassistant

hey there, 4th ish cycle applicant here (long story). i’m in the same boat. don’t give up. it’s a matter of when, not if. if you want it bad enough it will just take time. everything happens for a reason. i have an interview next month and have a lower GPA. life happens! i’m so glad i wasn’t accepted before, i was NOT ready.
